ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. TURNER amply com pensated last night for the disappointment of the audience on the previous occasion, owing to the loss of his MS. by a very instructive Lecture, chiefly relating on the theory of light and shade, iis•cOnstituting an essential part of the science of Perspective. Painters, he observed, were parti cularly interested in this subject. He treated LIGHT under three divisions, viz. common light, day-light, and sun-shine. The subject was illus trated by drawings, as well as by lucid explana tion, and the Discourse was thereby rendered as practically amusing as was consistent with the abstract nature of the subject. Mr. FUSEL' was in the Chair. LORD BYRON.—A letter from Venice of the 2lst of December, received by a Gentleman of Edinburgh, on the I Ith insr. says,—" Lord BYRON is here, but does not go much into so ciety; he keeps four horses, which, with the ex ception of the brazen steeds of Lysippus, are the only animals of tha► species in the whole city."

SHIFFNRII, and afterwards to attend the Ball at the County Hall at Lewes, given to their Com mander by the Officers of Captain SHIVFNER'S Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry. His Royal High ness dined at Combe Place, honoured with his presence the Ball, which was most numerously and elegantly attended, and frequently joined in the dance. From Lewis his Royal Highness re turned to Conibe Place to sleep ; hut after he had some time retired to rest, he became suddenly in disposed. Towards eight o'clock this tnorning an express readied the Pavilion with an account of the Duke's illness, and Dr. TIERNEY, ins post chaise and four, instantly proceeded to Combe Dr..Tlßat•zev returned to the Pavilion about - eleven o'clock, and the account he brought considerably allayed - the anxieties of the REGENT. The Duke had suffered much pain from spasms in the chest, owing to obstructed bile, hut received great relief, and was niuch better, before Dr. TIELNEv left him. This favourable account only prevented a journey to Combe Place by the RE GENT in perion. Dr. TIERNEY 0000 more left the Palace to attend his Royal Patient, at five o'c - lock this afternoon, to remain at Captain SHIFFNER'S all night, and to accompany the Duke iu Kris 1 . .

DETERMINED SUICIDE.-Yesterday a young man was observed walking about in a • me lancholy mood near the basin in 'Hyde Park, and in a moment he sprung over the railings into the water. The persons who saw him imme diately procured a drag and got him out, and carried him in an insensible state to St. George's Hospital. He was there recognized to be a young man of a respectable family, trained Bruce, aid had been reduced in circumstances. He came to London, but could not find employ ; and having spent all his money, he formed a resolution of putting an end to his existence.— A few weeks ago he cut his throat in a most dread ful manner at his lodgings, and was taken to St. George's Hospital : by the attention of the medi cal gentlemen he was soon out of danger. His si tuation being known - , and to prevent him repeating the act, a subscription was entered into, amount ing to near 401. and he was allowed ten shillings per week. Yesterday morning he received ten shillings, left the Hospital, and went to a pub lic-house and got intoxicated, and from thence into the Park, and again attempte,d to dectroy himself. The Surgeons used the means recom mended by the Royal Humane Society, and he is now out of danger, but is very morose, and re fuses all consolation. On Saturday last James Fontaine was appre hended upon the charge of having on that day, at Haverfordwest Market, uttered forged Bank of England notes for one pound each, if: payment for some pigs he had parchased at the Market ; and on Monday Stephen Williams was also-appre hended, near Carmarthen, under a similar charge, he having been purchasing some cattle at Nar beth Market on Saturday last, for which he paid in notes of the same description. Two women have also been. taken up early on Tuesday morn ing under similar charges. Fontaine and Williams have undergone very close examinations before the Justices, and from vt hat has transpired, it is hoped that it will lead, to a clue for the detection of the heads of these offenders. They represent the notes to have been obtained at Birmingham. They ate both fully committed to the Coultty Gaol, Haverfordwest, for trial at the next Assizes.

The follovc;ing is gives as the copy of a Letter from this Personage to the Duke of WELLING* TONE on the subject of Prussian Claims on, France : Cory OF THE EMPEROR'S LETTER TO TEE DUKE OP WELLINGTON. " Moscow, Oct. 30. " Placed as you are, my Lord Marshal, at the bead of the military forces of the European Al liance, you have contributed more than once, by the wisdom and moderation which distinguish you, to reconcile the niost important interests. I have constantly addressed myself to you io all circum stances wild) might influence the consolidation of that, order of things which .was established, principally in France, by your glorious exploits. Your ens r r t:,y in action, your prudence in council, hare never-ceased to produce the most desirable results. " Now that the question of private claims on France acquires a critical and decided character, on account of the difficulties presented by the literal execution of the convention of November, I could not think it right to conceal my opinion from the Monarchs, my Allies, on the mode of considering this burdensome engagement, so as to prevent ita infraction, and to render its execu. tion possible. The assert ions of the French Government are known to you, my Lord Marshal;, my Minister at Paris has received directions to communicate to you the memorial which was drawn up under my eyes, relative to this important question. I invite you to fix all your attention on. the connexion of the motives of right and political expedience, which are laid down in this document, in support of the principles of accommodation, which alone can simplify the complication inherent in the p a y. meut of private debts which were imposed upon France at a time when it was not easy to foresee their result. " You, doubtless, appreciate, my Lord Mar shal, all those graver considerations which plead in favour of a system of equitable conciliation : you will bring all the warmth of a soul elevated to the height of the occasion,. to a question, on which depends. perhaps, the repose of France, and the inviolability of the most sacred engage ments. Moderation and good faith have been, in our time, the sources of a healing and beneficent power ; and it is for him who prepared and fur thered the triumph, to cause to be heard, in all critical moments, the language of that same ma deration, and ot that same good faith. " In this conviction, if I bad still a wish to ex press, it would be to see you conducting, with the consent of my Allies, and that of the parties interested, the principal part of the negociationt which may he opened at Paris on the question ot the private claims, and the most equitable mode of deciding it with the common consent. " Receive, Mar3hal, the reiterated testimonies of my entire esteem. (Signed) " ALELINDER." DREADFUL. AcclDENT.—About five o'clock on Wednesday afternuon, a most shOcking accident happened near the five mile stone, on the Harrow Road, where a waggon heavily laden happened to stop for some time, in which interval a fine boy, about four years of age, being at play, unperceived by any person twisted the iron chain at the tail of the waggon, which passed b e tween the spokes of one of the wheels, round his neck. The waggoner drove on his team, when, horrid to relate, the unfortunate child's head was completely severed from its body
